Clarity

Irises seem to circle the wagons;

small tan bungee silk swirling.

Opiate agents responding as 

tidal SWAT members retreat 

Waves in grey green serene

tan blue misty hues .....

Pupils engaging pulse movements

wildly in dilatation ...undulations

"Q" music ... now!

Oxen toes spring to dance with

dragon fly wings singing

sixteenth notes on the swing beat 

Lines of clarity are

drawn when eyes meet 

curves of perfection ... arches of support.

(we see through glass dimly)

fighting friends draw closer

fighting enemies draw wary 

Crisp leather snapping lids

with Jack Booted blinks and winks

whirling dust..... ballet bunnies ....

desperate ......in escaping the sweep

dancing, bouncing, twirling to

hide in plane sight ......... out of sight .......under your bed

Hear the drone of cicadas?

Wearying, laden lashes 

grey lead rolls back white orbs 

pin striped with blood red

drift now in endless lines of division.

It was your very last line ...

'drift now in endless lines of division.'

... that gave me all the clarity. In fact, it all came tumbling down in a mist of life ... all life ... each swirling microscopic tangent in thought and time gathered up in that very last line ...

a perfect so perfect crescendo you may me smile wide upon reading it :D

I was just reading something from 'Brain Pickings' and I came across a passage that immediately transported me back to your Pom above ...

Without a firm center we flounder. 'The wonderful, inconceivably intricate tapestry is being taken apart strand by strand; each thread is being pulled out, torn up, and analyzed; and at the end even the memory of the design is lost and can no longer be recalled.'

You can see why ... Yes?

How do I like the eye you ask .. Well this is another strange tweak of synchro destiny ... I just finished reading (literally just finished) a novel called 'All the light we cannot see' by Anthony Doerr - wow what an amazing read. But I this book there is a girl called Marie-Laurie and she is blind - twice throughout the book a description of her eyes are given 'white, clouded completely over,I should have found them unnerving, instead I found some kind of familiarity' ...that's what I thought of your eye ...

love tyhe qoute from "Brain Pickings" ..and completely agree ...it is something i see here in the USA every day ..it has been an insipidus marauding of faith and history and pride in who we are as a nation ... the very core of right and wrong (spiritually speaking) taken away by the alleged higher ground of "open mindedness" leaves all adrift ... such a treat to see your smiling face in the morning ... happy cup of java to ya and i am honestly working on some pics ;)

Vivid imagery! Powerful write!

Lines of division offer little clarity only where one is to amputate an inseparable limb.

A poignant and powerful write, E:)

This seems kinda like the opposite of clarity to me. I'm not getting a clear vision about anything here, but this may be more about my funk than your poem. Anyhow, despite my cluelessness about your message, I really do enjoy your writing all along the way. I like the way you've done a number of internal rhymes here & there. I like the many expressions of uninhibited originality, even when I'm not sure what any of it means. That's all I've got . . . *smile*
